The all-in-one platform for university campus WiFi

Yes. Prospective students, open-day attendees, conference delegates and contractors connect through a branded captive portal in seconds, with guest traffic kept completely separate from staff and students. It is part of the same university WiFi platform, so you get one consistent campus WiFi experience with opt-in data capture and no extra IT overhead.

Identity-based Pre-Shared Keys (iPSK) give every student at your university their own private WiFi key. Each student's devices - laptops, phones, smart TVs, games consoles, smart speakers - find each other inside their personal WiFi bubble, but stay completely isolated from every other student's bubble. Purple's iPSK university deployment scales from a single hall of residence to multi-site student accommodation.

Yes. Student accommodation WiFi is one of Purple's strongest use cases. iPSK gives each room or each resident a private network, captive portals can be branded per-building, and analytics show occupancy and dwell time by location. Many UK universities deploy Purple across both their academic campus and their student accommodation as a single platform.

They're the same thing - Purple delivers a single higher education WiFi platform that covers every part of the campus, including lecture halls, libraries, halls of residence, sports facilities, student unions and outdoor spaces. Whether you call it campus WiFi or university WiFi, the underlying platform is consistent.

Yes. Purple is built to UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 standards. Consent is captured at the point of WiFi login, stored with a full audit trail, and honored across all marketing and operational workflows. Students control their own privacy preferences from the Purple app.

Yes. Purple's presence analytics turn anonymized WiFi connection data into building-by-building occupancy data, which estates teams use to manage heating, lighting, cleaning schedules, opening hours and net-zero reporting. It's one of the few real-time sources of space utilization data already running across most universities.

Yes. Purple integrates with your existing eduroam and RADIUS infrastructure rather than replacing it, removing friction so students and visiting academics get smoother onboarding and more reliable roaming - across lecture halls, halls of residence, satellite campuses and partner sites.

Purple adds network-level security that blocks malware and phishing domains at the DNS layer before they load, authenticates every connection, and keeps a full audit trail - backed by Cyber Essentials certification. It works alongside your existing security stack to protect a notoriously hard-to-defend, device-heavy campus network.
